OP reporting in... So turns out the non-QVL memory was (very surprisingly) the problem, so in case anyone w/ a 960T happens across this thread, stick to the QVL. As soon as I put in the ram it was stable, so I've since upped the...

Also of interest (maybe) is that while windows defender, firefox and chrome crash constantly, I just played through a game of LoL and Skyrim for about 15 minutes (settings maxed, cpu didn't get above 29 C, beautiful) without it crashing...

Quote:Originally Posted by MrNishi you could try upping the core voltage to 1.35 or 1.4 to see if its prime stable. Might have a degraded cpu the doesnt want to run at stock voltage. It will only take a few minutes to try. Just make...

All other things considered, should I get 1600 or 1333 MHz ram?

Quote:Originally Posted by rdr09 the multiplier fluctuating can be caused by Cool & Quiet enabled, which is normal. Disable it should stop but it is a nice feature to save a little energy. i suspect your ram is causing the issue.Ya,...

I think you're confusing me, I ended up getting cpu and board from truckerguy, thanks though. So non-QVL RAM likely causing all of this?

I did mention before (sorry I'm posting a lot I know) that this ram is NOT on the QVL, though posts like http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/287331-30-memory-working make me think that's not the issue, but could that be causing all the...

I should note too that the cpu multiplier is jumping up and down even though, as you can see in the BIOS, I've set it to a discrete value. Prime95 is failing almost instantly.
